The detective gets defensive and denies that he is, suggesting he's spent a lot of time during lockdown contemplating life in the tub. The scene also suggests that Benoit is queer because he's living with Philip (Hugh Grant), who asks him if he's in the bath again. The detective spends his days in the bath playing "Among Us," a mystery roleplay video game, with famous friends like "Murder, She Wrote" star Angela Lansbury, Natasha Lyonne, Stephen Sondheim, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The suspects are made up of another star-studded cast with the likes of Dave Bautista, Janelle Monae, Kathryn Hahn, Kate Hudson, and Jessica Henwick joining Craig's Benoit on the island.īut before the mystery really gets going, the audience gets a look into Benoit's personal life during the pandemic. Knives Out - A Doughnut Within a Doughnut: Blanc (Daniel Craig) explains his suspicion that the crime goes much deeper than he originally anticipated.BUY THE. Three years after Rian Johnson surprised audiences with his razor-sharp whodunit, "Knives Out," the director has brought Daniel Craig's Benoit Blanc back for the sequel, "Glass Onion." The detective is thrust into a new mystery after being invited to a lavish Greek island owned by tech millionaire Miles Bron (Edward Norton). This time, the focus will be on a destination mystery that once again, involves the wealthy echelons of society.Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders. Then he immediately laughed and he turned and said, ‘Did I go too far?’ And we were like, “Don’t change a thing.”Ī moment’s pause, then a cheeky comment from Norton: “But I found the clip, so I’ve made Daniel saying, ‘I’ll have a Chateau le cristo pastis s’il vous plait’ as my ringtone for him.”Īs the saying goes, it’s all fun and games - until the murders start taking place when Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery hits Netflix on 23 December. “I asked him what drink he’ll have, and Blanc said, ‘What do you have?’ And I said, ‘Well, I have everything.’ And I think he ad-libbed this, ’cause it’s not in the script, right? He goes, ‘Oh, well, in that case, I’ll have a Chateau le cristo pastis s’il vous plait,” he laughed. One of the funniest moments on set, Norton reminisced, was Craig’s ad-libbing attempt that left him in stitches. Indeed, there was plenty of fun that went around during the filming for Glass Onion. But Glass Onion was the complete opposite. On Spectre, there wasn’t a whole lot of interaction with the whole cast. He didn’t seem like the happiest person on Bond, but on Glass Onion, it was the complete opposite.”īautista then added, “He was just so much fun, and he was always smiling and happy and interacted a lot more. You could feel that he was under a lot of pressure.
It’s not the first time that the Blanc-Bond comparison has been brought up, with Bautista sharing with Entertainment Weekly that Craig seemed to be much happier on Glass Onion than playing James Bond - an observation that he took away from his time on set with Craig in 2015’s Spectre. “Because he’s such an open soul,” he said of the latter, with Hudson chiming in, “He’s so vulnerable and available that you’re like, ‘Oh, he could never be a spy.'” Norton, joining the conversation, went on to quip, “And it’s ridiculous, but he’s the least violent person of all of us.” Benoit Blanc, Daniel Craig ’s sleuth in Knives Out and its sequel, Glass Onion, is obviously queer, writer and director Rian Johnson confirmed during a press conference at the London Film.
When asked on who in the cast would be the easiest to see through in a murder mystery context, Johnson dropped two names: Bautista and Craig. Dave Bautista, who plays influencer Duke Cody, was absent as well. Blanc is Daniel,” he later added, in response to an observation by the event emcee that Craig’s running scene in Glass Onion didn’t feel James Bond-like.Ĭraig wasn’t in attendance to share his thoughts on the matter, but the comment quickly became a running joke for the rest of the attendees, which included director Rian Johnson, producer Ram Bergman, Kate Hudson (Birdie Jay in the movie), Kathryn Hahn (Claire Debella), Jessica Henwick (Peg), Madelyn Cline (Whiskey), Janelle Monae (Cassandra “Andi” Brand), and Lesile Odom Jr. “There’s a lot more Benoit in Daniel than that other franchise thing he does,” Edward Norton, who plays tech billionaire Miles Bron in the sequel, said in a press conference that Geek Culture attended. While part of that can, of course, be attributed to his acting prowess, the other part seems to stem from the similarities of his off-screen personality to Blanc’s in the film. The stark difference has thrown off those who are more used to Craig’s performance as Bond, but his co-stars aren’t surprised that the actor took to the role extremely well.
